Thursday was our last day of VBS! Thank you to all the kiddos and parents who joined us. A HUGE thank you to our volunteers who make this amazing week possible. Tropical Trek was one for the record books...we got more rain than any other year!

Wednesday was a bit rainy (just like a Tropical Trek island!), so the kiddos were indoors for some of the games! They still had a great day learning about Jesus!

🌴 VBS families & friends: Here's your guide to Tropical Trek!

Want a sneak peek at what your child will be learning each day? We've gathered the daily Bible accounts, memory verses, and take-home points so families can follow along throughout the week.

Whether you're preparing for VBS, talking about the lessons at home, or simply curious about this year's theme, these resources will help you continue the conversation beyond the classroom.

This year, we'll discover how Jesus comes to seek and save the lost—and how His love and forgiveness are for us in every circumstance.
